5 O's, No Apologies.

The Pull List, 7.27.16

Here at Kaboooooom we love our comic books, but if you’re new to the game or just don’t frequent the local comic shop, it can be hard to know where to start. For that, we’re here to help. Every week we’ll share with you our recommendations for what you should be checking out and what you need to know before you crack that cover – it’s Kabooooom’s Pull List!

It’s the final issue of what’s been, without a doubt, Harley’s best comic series to date. Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti just get her. She’s wacky, committed, and not afraid of getting her hands dirty (in fact, she prefers it that way). When Harls returns with her new Rebirth series, it’ll be for all intents and purposes the same as it has been – same creators, same tone. Still, this issue should be a fun one, sending Harley out in style as she gears for up Rebirth andSuicide Squad (in theaters 8/5!).

Between Dan Abnett’s writing and my ongoing curiosity over just where the overall story of Rebirth is heading, you can bet this will be the first book I read this Wednesday. The art of Brett Booth is a pleasant bit of icing on the cake. And on a personal level, it’s nice to see Lilith Clay – one of my favorite heroines – finally being shown some love.

The vaudevillian crowd-pleaser continues in Boom Studios’ Over The Garden Wall #4. What is next for Greg and Wirt in the unknown? Who lies in wait after the Beast has been vanquished? When will they manage to find their bearings and navigate the wooded purgatory to safety? All this and more will hopefully be evident as we continue to read the comic form of one of the most intriguing instant-cult classics to date.
